Jan 2009: HPC FOR BIOSCIENCE

Posted January 1, 2009 - 8:08pm

Novaglobal has successfully integrated an IBM Blade HPCC (High Performance Computing Cluster) to an Illumina Genetic Analyzer for a local cancer research centre; and a 1U HPCC to an Applied Biosystems Genetic Analyzer running SOLiD software suite, all in a row. The longer term plan is to integrate Accelrys Pipeline Pilot to the systems to facilitate efficient management, handling and analysis on the data flood from massive and complex genomic data sets.
